I would like to know if anyone has come across the restriction surrounding non Server Administrators from creating sub-directories in Domino folders.
My scenario is this:
I have created a ‘User Registration’ Database that enables Help Desk staff to enter a new user’s name, password and location. I have then coded an agent to register new users based on these values as well as default mail templates and other registration settings.
This code uses the RegisterNewUser method of the NotesRegistration class.
When I hit the ‘Register User’ button it works great. Mail file and roaming files are created automatically.
If I get the Help Desk to do it, everything works except for the creation of the roaming files. No folder and no files, but the person document indicates that the roaming files exist and that the user is ‘roaming’ when in fact their files do not exist.
I played around with security settings and agent execution levels before finding out that the user must be a ‘server administrator’ to be able to create folders on the server.
This is a real pain as I do not want to give the Help Desk Server Administrator access to every mail server where the roaming files reside.
Has anyone come across this issue or have any suggestions how to get around it, short of putting the Help Desk in the Administrator field of the server document.
I cannot create the folder prior to registering a user as I get the error that the sub-directory already exists and the registration fails.
The option of creating the files after the registration is one option, but not convenient.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
